The grass is always greener . . .

What I like about being in a bigger church:1. Lots more people with varying gifts2. You can buy stuff you need instead of waiting for it to turn up used or free or making it with duct tape3. Good instruments regularly maintained4. Building doesn't look like shit5. Everybody hasn't necessarily known each other since infancy--more surprises6. Real choir director instead of me waving my arms and hoping for the best

Oh yeah, I remember this crap from before1. Endless time on administrivia2. Longer meetings3. Staff politics4. People don't necessarily know each other at all5. More people who could potentially get mad at me if I screw up6.Annoying lapel mikes

It's not only the poor-man's mechanic... it's pretty much a way of life for those of us raised in a certain millieu. Myself, I used the string, sticky silver stuff twice this weekend (most likely for inadvisably fast fixes each time).
